ICP DAS ZigBee devices range

ICP Electronics Australia has released a range of ZigBee products manufactured by ICP DAS for industrial automation and control environments.

ZigBee is a specification based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard for wireless personal area networks (WPANs). ZigBee operates in the ISM radio bands, and it defines a general-purpose, inexpensive, self-organising, mesh network for industrial control, embedded sensing, medical data collection, smoke and intruder warning, building automation and home automation.

There are three different types of ZigBee devices in a ZigBee network. The Coordinator, or Master, stores information about the network to determine the optimum transmission path between any two points. Full function devices (routers, repeaters) act as intermediate repeaters that pass data from other devices, and reduced function devices (or end devices) contain a minimal amount of functionality to enable them to talk to their parent nodes (either the coordinator or a router), and they cannot relay data directly from other devices.

The family of product includes analog I/O, temperature sensors, digital I/O, multifunction I/O, ZigBee sniffers, repeaters and converters (RS232/485, Ethernet and USB to ZigBee). All models feature -25 to +75°C operation, ESD/EFT protection, 10-30 VDC wide-range power supply, dual watchdog timer, Windows GUI configuration software, and are DIN rail mountable.
